Seeing the Lady Boss's aura and the hateful expression on her face, Miao Yi began to panic. 'What the hell is this woman trying to do?'
He was taking advantage of the fact that the incident at Tempest Tavern had just happened. Many people still hadn't reacted in time to make his escape. If he got entangled by the Lady Boss and the onlookers arrived, he might not be able to escape even if he wanted to.
Just as he was about to fall into the Lady Boss's clutches, Miao Yi suddenly dove down towards the desert below.
'Bang!' A cloud of mist exploded, instantly concealing Miao Yi's true body.
One of them released a black cloud, while the other released a white mist. They were a perfect match for each other.
The Lady Boss couldn't help but be a little surprised as she chased after Miao Yi on her demonic cloud.
'Bang!' There was a loud explosion in the desert, followed by a cloud of dust and water. Miao Yi had already pierced through the sand crust beneath the desert.
The Lady Boss instantly dove into the white mist. She waved her arms, and a violent burst of transcendence energy immediately swept away the white mist and sand. She looked down at the deep blue sea below her and understood that Miao Yi knew he couldn't outrun her in the air, so he had already dove into the sea to escape. She gritted her teeth. 'Trying to run?'
Without hesitation, the Lady Boss dove into the sea and continued to chase after him.
The carpenter and stonemason also dove into the sea one after the other. When they saw the Lady Boss surveying her surroundings, they quickly rushed over to her side.
"Carpenter, go over there. Stonemason, go over here. We'll split up and search. If we find that guy, warn us immediately." The Lady Boss waved her hand and instructed.
The carpenter was shocked. "Lady Boss, you're not really planning on capturing him, are you?"
The Lady Boss gritted her teeth. "That guy thinks he's grown up now. He actually dares to come and mess with me. If I don't teach him a lesson this time, he'll turn on me in the future. Will I still be able to control him in the future? We must capture him. This concerns my reputation for the rest of my life. If anyone dares to let him escape, don't blame me for not showing mercy! "As she finished speaking, she quickly dashed in a certain direction.
The carpenter and stonemason exchanged bitter smiles. They nodded to each other, and each headed in a different direction to search.
The surface of the sea was slowly being mended by the flowing sand. Meanwhile, the mound of sand nearby was slowly rising to the surface. Miao Yi hid in the sand, holding a spear in one hand. Holding the Water Cloud Pearl in one hand, Zhang Xuan slowly floated into the air and surveyed his surroundings.
Seeing that the Lady Boss and the others had already disappeared, Miao Yi glanced at the gradually healing shell of sand and revealed a mocking smile. He then put away the Qilin Spear and Water Cloud Pearl. He calmly brushed the sand off his sleeves and muttered to himself with a look of disdain, "It's not that I don't want to give you face, but since you want to play for real, I'll play with you. Do you think you can catch me just because your cultivation is higher? Don't you know who slept with you? "
Miao Yi flashed up into the sky, then glanced at the few unrelated personnel who were staring at him from afar, but didn't dare to approach him. Miao Yi quickly took to the skies.
After a while, the mouth that was almost submerged by the quicksand broke open again. The lady boss, the carpenter, and the stonemason rushed out again. She quickly searched around in the sea, but she couldn't find Miao Yi's shadow at all. He had fled very quickly.
The carpenter and stonemason didn't really care whether they caught Miao Yi or not. However, the Lady Boss found it hard to swallow her resentment.
It wasn't that she held a deep grudge against Miao Yi. It wasn't that Miao Yi had caused trouble in her Tempest Tavern, and she would find a way to bear the consequences. Rather, she was the Lady Boss, and Niu Er was her employee. Even though this employee had slept with her, as the Lady Boss, her position had always been higher than Niu Er's. The Lady Boss was supposed to be in charge of her employees. How could she allow their positions to be reversed?
This was a matter of pride. Either the east wind prevailed over the west wind, or the west wind prevailed over the east wind!
Nearby, some kind-hearted people came over to watch the commotion. One of them cupped his fists at the Lady Boss and said, "Lady Boss, you've been tricked. That thief didn't dive into the sea. Instead, he broke the shell of sand and lured you down. In reality, he was using the mist as a cover to hide himself in the nearby sand. By the time you entered the sea, he came out again and ran away. "
The carpenter and stonemason exchanged glances. 'What a cunning bastard. What quick reflexes. He managed to lure us away just like that, causing us to run around in circles under the sea.'
The Lady Boss immediately asked, "Where did he run off to? For how long?"
"He ran off that way!" The man pointed in a direction and replied, "He's been running for a while. Not long after you entered the sea, we saw him crawl out of the sand and run away."
The Lady Boss's charming face immediately darkened. She gritted her teeth. 'So what if he has a high cultivation? So what if he's fast? You can't even catch him when he wants to run, and you even tricked him into the sea like an idiot.'
She turned back to look in the direction Miao Yi had escaped. There was no point in chasing after him now. He was long gone. Not to mention, that bastard was so cunning. It would be strange if he could run in the same direction. There was no point in chasing after him anymore.
"Let's go back!" The Lady Boss called out, then led the carpenter and stonemason away.
Along the way, the Lady Boss thought about it and smiled. Even though she had lost, Miao Xiao Er's ability to respond to emergencies made her feel more at ease. She guessed that Niu Er wouldn't be killed so easily in the cultivation realm.
In the middle of the boundless desert, a silhouette descended from the sky. Miao Yi landed under three coconut trees that were arranged in a triangular formation. After looking around to confirm his surroundings, he raised his hand and knocked on one of the coconut trees sixteen times before stopping.
Not long after, the sand on the ground between the three coconut trees was overturned, revealing a pitch-black cave entrance. Miao Yi looked around again, then immediately jumped in.
Below him was a passageway about a hundred meters long, made with a simple wooden board.
One of the desert bandits guarding the entrance looked at Miao Yi with a suspicious and vigilant gaze. After watching Miao Yi go deeper into the cave, he pulled on the rope beside him. He could vaguely hear the sound of a bell ringing in the distance.
After walking for a hundred meters in the passageway, he finally saw a cave that had been carved out from the mountain beneath the desert.
Dozens of people were guarding the cave entrance with weapons in hand, including Jian Sanniang and Yang Zhaoqing.
Among the dozens of people, only Jian Sanniang and Yang Zhaoqing knew who Miao Yi was. When they saw Miao Yi, they were stunned. They quickly put down their weapons and cupped their fists in greeting. They didn't know how to address Miao Yi, because they couldn't reveal his identity to the others.
Miao Yi nodded, then looked at the two of them.
Jian Sanniang had already shed her Jade Lady Sect's flashy silver-white gauze robe and was now dressed in a professional outfit. She even had a headscarf wrapped around her head, and her movements seemed a little more wild.
Yang Zhaoqing also seemed a little more ferocious and wild, as if he was a bandit.
At first, Jian Sanniang wasn't very willing to come here. However, after getting used to it, she realized that it was pretty good. Not only did she receive a fixed salary from the government, but she could also kill and loot here. Her income was even higher, and if she ran into a rich man, she wouldn't even know how many years she would have to work in the government. Most importantly, she had a way out. If she couldn't continue being a bandit anymore, she could always go back to being an official. That wasn't a bad life.
"Please come inside!" Jian Sanniang quickly led the way, leading Miao Yi deep into the cave …
There weren't many people gathered outside the Tempest Tavern to watch. Most of them were hiding in their mud huts, keeping an eye on the situation. Everyone was on high alert in a place like this. There wouldn't be a situation where a large group of people gathered around to watch the commotion. It wouldn't be safe if their tracks were exposed.
Inside the messy main hall, the carpenter finally had something to do this time. He was responsible for breaking the tables and chairs.
The servants in the kitchen were temporarily sent out to help clean up the mess, while Yang Qing, Wu Qunfang, and the others were brought into the kitchen.
The cook moved a chair behind the Lady Boss, who then sat down. She lifted her skirt and crossed her legs, giving off a dignified and charming air. She accepted the cup of tea from the mason, took a sip, then casually handed it back to him. She glanced sideways at Wu Qunfang and calmly said, "Second Mistress, my Tempest Tavern treats you well with good wine, good food, and good food. We haven't done anything wrong, have we? Why are you causing trouble at my tavern? Do you think my tavern is a pushover? "
Wu Qunfang let go of Cheng Yaowei and handed him over to her children. She cupped her fists at the Lady Boss and said, "Please understand, Lady Boss. We definitely did not cause trouble at Tempest Tavern. The innkeeper saw it all. We were just negotiating when someone suddenly appeared out of nowhere and interfered. That person was the one causing trouble. It really had nothing to do with us. We didn't do anything from start to finish."
Yang Qing had already transmitted his voice to her earlier, so the only thing she could do now was to cut all ties with Miao Yi and push all the blame onto him.
'Nothing to do with it? What's with all of you squeezing into one room? ' The Lady Boss knew full well that it was precisely because she knew Miao Yi was in cahoots with Wu Qunfang and the others that she pretended not to know anything. If she did, then she would have to follow the rules. This was the foundation of the Tempest Tavern's reputation here.
The Lady Boss glared at Cheng Yaowei and scoffed, "Do you think it's nothing to do with you just because you say it's nothing to do with you? He was the one who helped you save Great Mistress Cheng. "
Wu Qunfang said, "Please understand, Lady Boss. Who would save someone like that? He's not saving someone. He's clearly trying to harm us by making a move in your tavern. This is more than enough to prove that we have nothing to do with him. "This was how Yang Qing had explained to her earlier.
'More than enough to prove my ass! That bastard clearly knows that nothing will happen if he makes a move in my place! ' The Lady Boss gritted her teeth in anger, but she couldn't bring herself to say it out loud. She asked, "What happened to Great Mistress Cheng?"
Wu Qunfang sighed, "I won't hide it from you, Lady Boss. I don't know who it was that suddenly made a move against us. They captured our Great Mistress and threatened us. They're trying to take control of the Hive Gang."
The Lady Boss raised an eyebrow. She looked at Yang Qing and asked, "And who are you?"
Yang Qing took off his mask and cupped his fists. "I am Yang Qing, the Grand Steward of the Celestial Nation's Fifth Earthly Branch's Wood Traversing Palace's Suppressing Ninth Hall and Suppressing Tenth Hall."
As soon as she said this, Wu Qunfang and the others broke out in a cold sweat. 'Thank goodness Hall Master Miao was wearing a mask and didn't reveal his identity. Otherwise, Chief Steward Yang, you'd be in deep trouble this time.'
The confucian scholar, the cook, the stonemason, and the carpenter all stared at Yang Qing in unison. The way they looked at him was extremely strange, as though they were looking at an idiot. This was probably the first time in Yang Qing's life that someone had treated him like an idiot.
